Due Process, v2

Lawrence Lessig

The substantive due process at stake in this section is referred to as "privacy." More precisely, it is a characterization of a domain within which no government has a sufficient justification to reach. Start the section by asking whether you believe there is anything the government cannot regulate (beyond where constitutions expressly prohibit it). Is there anywhere the government cannot reach? And if there is, then the question is whether these particular domains qualify. -LL
